Happy Saturday and happy, happy loooong weekend! I don't know about you, but I am already wondering why this long weekend is going so quickly! The next one won't be until Thanksgiving - so sad! Anyways, it has been nice to have a little extra time to create! :)

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Retro Sketches - always fun sketches to play with!
DP's are from Simple Stories, stamps, dies and cardstock from PTI.

Happy Monday! It's release day for Whimsy and Stars Studio,
and I am so happy to introduce you the newest addition - Ribbon Girl and Ribbon Boy. I chose the yellow ribbon - Support Our Troops. My Nephew Marcus Robert Tyminski is in the Army, and is currently at Fort Lee - Virginia finishing up Advanced Individual Training, and then is headed to Fort Campbell, Kentucky. We are all so very proud of him! :)

DP's used are from K&Co., cardstock, twine and button from PTI. Ribbon Boy/Girl is in shop at Whimsy and Stars
